Natural Killer (NK) cells are key players in the innate immune system, with the unique ability to recognize and eliminate infected or tumor cells without prior sensitization. Acting as both cytotoxic effectors and immune regulators, NK cells are a powerful tool in immunology research and therapeutic development.
Our NK cell services include:
Characterization of NK cell activity, including activation, inhibition, and receptor signaling
Functional assays measuring cytotoxicity, cytokine release, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
Screening for NK cell–mediated immune regulation and anti-cancer activity
Isolation, expansion, and ex vivo activation of NK cells for translational research
Support for engineered NK cell studies, including CAR-NK applications
Applications in cancer immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and novel drug discovery
By combining advanced immunoassay platforms with deep expertise, we help accelerate NK cell research and therapeutic innovation.
Our NK cell assay platform provides comprehensive tools to study NK cell biology and therapeutic applications, including:
NK cell phenotyping and activation by flow cytometry
Cytokine production analysis via intracellular flow cytometry or Luminex
NK cell proliferation assays
Target expression profiling on NK cells
Functional assays for activation and killing (CD69, CD25 expression, Fas ligand, granzyme secretion)
ADCC assays using flow cytometry or DELFIA
NK cell–mediated killing with NK cell engager molecules
